Bitwarden Authenticator is a standalone app that is available for everyone, even non-Bitwarden customers.

In its current release, Bitwarden Authenticator generates time-based one-time passwords (TOTP) for users who want to add an extra layer of 2FA security to their logins.

There is a comprehensive roadmap planned with additional functionality.

Available for iOS and Android

Nice! I currently have a couple of services on MS Authenticator that I can migrate over.

What makes you switch to this one rather than staying on MS?

Edit: oh no I asked a question that is obvious to others

MS not trustworthy

Honestly? This.

The less I have to rely on Microsoft or googie for anything, the better.

Microsoft's Authenticator app is AWFUL. Just one example - there is a setting to backup to iCloud, but when you try to enable it, it demands you add a secondary (personal) Microsoft account.

I didn't know it sucked on the iPhone, I haven't had problems on Android, I actually quite like it. I would only change to get away from Microsoft
